Filming is now getting underway for the sixth and final season of Cobra Kai, which is taking place in Atlanta, Georgia.
Alongside the news of filming having commenced, numerous casting calls have been issued for a range of roles over the next few weeks for background extras. If you’re in the Atlanta, Georgia, area or desperate to appear in on-screen roles, this is your last chance to do so.
Jon Hurwitz, one of the three main showrunners for Cobra Kai, posted last night a picture with fellow showrunners and a writer (Joe Piarulli) and director (Joel Novoa Schneider) with the caption, “The Night Before.”

With filming underway, it’s currently unclear when filming will have wrapped. One estimate on a production listing, and per Xolo Mariduena, suggests filming may be ongoing for six months until Q3 2024. It’s unclear how accurate that is, given that showrunners have hinted that they’re gunning for a 2024 release date for the final season.
Casting Calls for Cobra Kai Season 6
ProjectCasting first reported on the casting call for extras for the new season ahead of filming getting underway throughout January 2024.
Per the casting call, “We are currently looking for passionate individuals to fill the roles of extras in the dynamic Karate Dojo scenes of “Cobra Kai” Season 6.
